For the first 35 minutes of the Georgia men’s basketball team’s loss Saturday at Mississippi State, the turnovers that have plagued them all season appeared a thing of the past. Then they resurfaced in a big way, with five of their 15 turnovers coming in the final five minutes, causing them to blow a 13-point [...]

Three SEC games.  Three heartbreaking losses. So goes the tale of the start of conference play for Georgia (8-8, 0-3) this season, losing another nail-biter in league play, 72-69, to Mississippi State (15-3, 3-0 SEC) at Humphrey Coliseum Saturday afternoon in Starkville, Miss. “It is an extremely disappointing loss, and I thought they played pretty [...]

Georgia was unanimously projected to finish last in the conference. That’s why, despite an 0-2 SEC start, they have certainly opened the pundits’ eyes to start league play.   Facing three consecutive ranked opponents, they emerged with a win over No. 20 Georgia Tech and losses to No. 2 Kentucky and No. 21 Ole Miss. [...]

Georgia men’s basketball head coach Mark Fox’s team was unable to give him the 41st birthday present he wanted – his first SEC win – as his Dogs (8-7) lost 80-76 to No. 23 Ole Miss (13-3) Wednesday night at Stegeman Coliseum. The game included 11 lead changes as neither team seemed to be able [...]

If wins over Georgia Tech and Illinois didn’t serve notice that the Georgia men’s basketball program is back on the upswing under head coach Mark Fox, then Saturday’s narrow loss to undefeated Kentucky certainly did. “I don’t know if there is a more improved team in the country [than Georgia],” Kentucky head coach John Calipari [...]

Mark Fox may not have been Athletic Director Damon Evans first choice, but it’s hard to imagine anyone doing a better job in resurrecting the Georgia program in his first season. Fox inherited a complete mess last April – a program that had just gone 12-20 the previous season and had lost two starters, including [...]

Georgia is undoubtedly riding high, fresh off a 73-66 victory over their archrival Georgia Tech. But a staunch reality check is likely in order come Saturday when the Dogs head into a raucous crowd of 23,000 screaming Wildcats fans for a showdown with undefeated and third-ranked Kentucky (15-0). And that’s not even mentioning the fact [...]

Call it a valiant effort. Call it a learning experience or confidence builder. Just don’t call Georgia’s 76-68 loss to undefeated (16-0) Kentucky a moral victory. The difference in the Georgia (8-6) this season is the team has a higher standard and doesn’t do moral victories under new coach Mark Fox. The Bulldogs aren’t content [...]

From the moment Cady Lalanne stepped foot on campus, he knew Georgia was the place for him. Lalanne, a 6-foot-9, 220-pound power forward out of Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, Fla., was blown away by Georgia’s campus, academics, players and head coach Mark Fox’s knack for developing versatile post players into legitimate NBA prospects. [...]

It’s been 33 years since the Georgia Tech men’s basketball team has won in Athens. Make that 34. The Bulldogs (8-5) defended their home court once again with a 73-66 victory over the rival Yellow Jackets. As the final seconds ticked down on the clock with the win securely sealed, the chants of “just like [...]
